Normally I'd agree but this time I doubt it - 40 MPs in British parliament were pushing to get something done about Paypal's censorship. Paypal knew they were about to get a boot on their neck if they didn't stop being totalitarian scumbags, and if they do it again in the future the news headlines would be even worse - "Paypal bans Free Speech Union AGAIN!".

I agree with you, but I also have doubts. They'll do it again when the heat dies down, probably when something else can work as a smoke screen.
